Capture Current Time In Variable

[raveon]

I can easily display the current time in real-time using fxDreema built-in functions which are great.

However trying to capture the current time, place it into a variable or constant and then use it later as a value in something like Bucket of Closed Positions or even display it is something I have been unable to do.

I can end up with a value like 1652845765.0 but don't know what to do with that?

Any help appreciated.

@raveon That value is the seconds after 1970, you can see how to do it here: https://fxdreema.com/shared/kcFzx8a5b

Thank you very much very helpful. I have copy/pasted the code block you provided and have created some of the variables as "double" types successfully. However, I still get a compilation error when trying to declare some of them.

TimeToStr
TimeLocal
TimeCurrent
TimeGMT

I have tried them as double, string, and even tried datetime variable types with no luck. (MT5). Can you help a little furher?

Thank you again

Shouldn't it be int? Double has decimal place, int are only whole numbers, which is how time is processed afaik

@general-melchett Correct. It should be of an int type.

@raveon said in Capture Current Time In Variable:
TimeToStr = int to string
TimeLocal = string
TimeCurrent = string
TimeGMT = string
